Tag Archives: HTC Vive

A leap forward has been achieved in that now websites do not require any sort of special programming to be compatible with Virtual Reality headsets. Google Daydream and GearVR (Samsung’s current model of Mobile VR for their Galaxy smartphones) will now bring whatever you browse under your face and launch in the Google Chrome app, in Full VR.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew is the new VR game coming from Ubisoft, set in the Star Trek Universe. It takes place during the Kelvin Timeline, which the new film series takes place during. The game can be played by yourself or in multiplayer with friends. You can be the bridge crew, be the Captain, First Officer, Helm Officer, etc. Work together to fly the ship safely. Star Trek: Bridge Crew comes out today on PlayStation VR, HTC Vive, and Oculus Rift for $49.99.

Valve has announced their own virtual reality headset. Teaming up with HTC, the new device is called the HTC Vive and will present full room 360 degree experiences in virtual reality gaming to the world. More information is expected to be dropped at this year’s Game Developer Conference (GDC) trade industry event. Capabilities currently confirmed include 90 Frames Per Second visuals (compared to the latest Oculus rendition only achieving around 75) and audio quality that is currently being described as high fidelity by Valve.

The developer kit version of this headset becomes available Spring 2015 and some partners already involved include Vertigo Games, Fireproof Games, as well as Bossa Studios. Lionsgate and HBO have also announced partnerships with HTC and Valve that will see cinematic content also arriving on the device when it finally hits retail Holiday 2015.

The device will work with something called SteamVR base stations and is equipped with 70 sensors internally. The virtual environment that will be accomplished because of this is going to be larger than anything seen in the VR space thus far and allows for 15 x 15 ft. of simulated movement in terms of perspective posturing. When Vive ships to retail, consumers will be given two controllers to have wireless interaction with their environment rather than rely on simply eye and hand gesturing. Currently not much information is known about them though.
